alanna jayne mctiernan
I started my creative career in the portrait photography world and discovered a love of storytelling. Not long after, I found a passion for architecture and design, and slowly the two merged for me to be able to capture both people + place through still imagery and motion. I now work with architects, interior designers, urban designers and landscape architects, with a focus on bringing an open approach towards each project - not one size fits all.
I believe images should evoke a feeling, and light plays a pivotal part in showcasing this. I focus not only on the design, but how the space is used and what it was designed for – because this is what gives design a story that your clients can connect with.
In a world where images are everywhere, it’s more important than ever to focus on quality imagery that stands out and showcases just how incredible your work is. Let’s create a visual narrative that tells the bigger story of your practice and your design work that connects with people in its own unique way. Let’s do this!

Conrad Gargett
Conrad Gargett engaged Alanna McTiernan to photograph our recently completed 5 storey social housing project at East St, Ipswich. It was important for CG that the spirit of the building was captured, and the final images did just that. There is a great sense of life in the shots. We would be keen to work again with Alanna in the future.

Aspect Studios
ASPECT Studios Brisbane were after some professional photographs for a range of past projects. We engaged Alanna after a competitive process and found her proposal not only value for money but also highly responsive to our brief. Alanna even came into the studio to understand the special requirements of each project in order to capture the various themes and ideas behind each one. It’s that personal touch and interest in the projects that makes Alanna a stand out professional photographer. We highly recommend Alanna to take beautiful photographs of your projects and we hope to work with her again in the future.

Alanna was so easy to work with on this project. She had a great knack in capturing all the charm and quirks of this lovely family home.
Weave Archiecture
Alanna always seems to intuitively know what aspects I want to capture when it comes to photographing my projects. She has a wonderful understanding of space, architecture and design in general, but also quickly appreciates the particular nuances that make each practice and project unique – and translates all this into gorgeous photos! And I love that she so easily includes people and pets to bring things to life.
Conservation Volunteers
In 2021 I have decided to get my green thumb hat on and dedicate some of my spare time monthly to helping conservation volunteers. Couple picks below.
